The Bedford Borough Community Safety Partnership (CSP) is a joint partnership between Bedford Borough Council, Bedfordshire Police, Bedfordshire Fire and Rescue Service, Probation Service (East of England) and Bedfordshire Clinical Commissioning Group.
Together we work with housing associations, local businesses and voluntary/community organisations to tackle crime, disorder, anti-social behaviour, drug and alcohol misuse and increase people's perceptions about safety and well-being in our communities.
This year the CSP is carrying out a strategic assessment of crime and anti-social behaviour to inform a new, three year, Community Safety Plan (2023-2026).
We would like your views on a range of anti-social behaviour and crime related questions about your local area and the town centre to inform the strategic assessment and new Community Safety Plan.

What happens next
This consultation will close at the end of the summer. An evaluation report of people's responses will be published in the Autumn. The data will also be used to inform our strategic assessment which once completed can be found on the Community Safety page.
